Everyday Skin Care Is Skin Cancer Prevention
Everyday Skin Care Is Skin Cancer Prevention
A message from Rilastil on World Skin Cancer Day
Taking care of your skin is more than just a beauty routine — it’s part of protecting your long-term health. On World Skin Cancer Day, we take a moment to highlight a simple truth: skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but also one of the most preventable.
Why Skin Cancer Awareness Matters
Skin cancer usually develops over time due to accumulated sun exposure. The good news is that daily habits can significantly lower your risk. You don’t need to feel alarmed — just informed and empowered to take care of your skin with consistency and intention.
How You Can Protect Your Skin
- Use sunscreen every day
Even on cloudy days or when you’re indoors near windows, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors. - Avoid intense sun exposure
Try to stay in the shade between 10 AM and 4 PM, when the sun’s rays are strongest. - Wear protective clothing
Lightweight long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses offer additional defense against UV rays. - Get to know your skin
Once a month, take a few minutes to look at your skin in the mirror. Notice if any spots or moles change in size, color, or shape. - See your dermatologist annually
A quick professional skin check once a year can help catch anything early — when it’s easiest to treat.
